Doubt and inaction.

Uncertainty. Insecurity. Fear. ⁣

Imposter syndrome. ⁣

Doubt is an emotional state - a period of indecision centered around belief. ⁣

Is this true? Can I trust this decision? What results will I get? Will this work?⁣

Self-doubt is thought to be developed after working through a developmental stage. If successful, independence snd confidence develops, if not, insecurity and self-doubt arise. ⁣

So...what can you do?⁣

Stay in the present moment as much as possible. Try not to look ahead or imagine possible outcomes. All that does increase fear and anxiety. ⁣

Trust yourself. You’ve gotten this far. You know the best choice for you. And you’ve gotten yourself outbid difficult situations before if all goes wrong. You are capable!⁣

Talk to someone. If you just go through the possible scenarios, do it once, discuss all possibilities, and then make a decision. Once you make the decision, move forward. Don’t second guess yourself. ⁣

Keep an open mind. Learn from any mistakes. Let last experiences go. Keep trying. ⁣

The key is to act. Try. Guess. Move. ⁣

All these actions will help you overcome doubt and move forward. ⁣
